text: You know what?!? I'm SICK!!!! Why?! Cause all of the idiots lately. The people that actually know something about computers are getting less every day! Nobody cares about assembler anymore, software render, ray-tracing or casting. There is only hardware, per-pixel,vertex shaders and etc. bullshit. And not only that… somebody is constantly deleting all of the great articles tutorials and etc. from the net and replacing them with cheap D3D or OGL imitations. People are using ultra high level APIs(GFX that is) and doing per-pixel shader programs or etc. without even knowing that 1/z is linear and z is not in screen space. The so called programmers of the new times think that it's enough to learn C++(not even C =/) and start programming. They don't care about assembler optimizations or they don't even care how the computer actually work cause it's enough for them that the Microsoft's compiler will do everything for them. Pretty sucki a? I myself think that this sux and that in 10 to 15 years the programmers will be some brainless idiots that use the Microsoft standarts for everything. Of course there are people that still keep the old art of the programming alive and are tring to imporve it. So my last words are: LET'S FIGHT FOR THE OLD ART OF PROGRAMMING! DO NOT LET IT DIE!

Wicklow Glacier Lakes
Sunday 15 April, 2012
10 (Extreme) - Extreme, >1,000M ascent or > 30Km
- Route not marked
Hyperlinks to Ordnance Survey GEOLIVES Maps of Each Leg Leg 1 part 1 and Leg 1 part 2 (10 km with 600m climb) Leg 2 part 1 and Leg 2 part 2 (11.5 km with 200m climb) Leg 3 (7.5 km with 600m climb, NOTE: Private land is out of bounds. Fenced fields should not be entered, this occurs near the lower part of the zig-zags) Leg 4 (10 km with 450m climb)
Map of Glendalough Region Accommodation St. Kevins Bus Service
Entry form and IMRA Membership Form
EastWest Mapping Lugnaquilla & Glendalough Harveys Wicklow Mountains
The race takes in some of the highest glacial lakes in Wicklow. The proposed route is outlined below. The IMRA Committee have the final decision on the route. The race traverses some of the wildest terrain in Wicklow so participants should agree safety precautions with their team members and carefully recce their leg(s). Participants must touch the water in each lake on their leg. Some photos of the lakes are here: Photos on Flickr
A team comprises between 1 and 4 persons. Juniors are not allowed to compete because of the nature of the terrain and the distances involved. A mobile phone, hat, cagoule, map, and compass are compulsory kit. Bring food and water according to your needs for a run of around 10 km in tough mountain terrain.
The race will use chasing starts with the first team to finish being the winners. Women get a bonus of 10 minutes for each leg they run. Persons aged over 50 get a bonus of 5 minutes. Persons aged over 60 get a bonus of 10 minutes. Persons aged over 70 get a bonus of 20 minutes. Hence any teams of four W60 women will start at 8 am whereas teams of four Senior/M40 men will start at 9:20. An M50 solo runner would have a bonus of 20 minutes so would start at 9 am. Teams who declare themselves non-competitive can start at 8:30 (these teams will be ranked on their bonus adjusted time but are not eligible for a team prize).
Leg 1 starts at the hotel in Glendalough and takes in Lough Ouler with the handover at the car park at the Wicklow Gap. The only part of the Wicklow Gap road that you can run on is the part on the St. Kevin's Way. Challenge: route choice and terrain.
Leg 2 takes in Lough Firrib and either of the Three Lakes with the handover at Glenmalure hostel. Challenge: navigation and tough terrain in middle of leg.
Leg 3 takes in Art's Lough and Kelly's Lough with the handover at Ballinafunshoge car park). Challenge: route choice and steep terrain.
Leg 4 takes in the Upper and Lower lakes in Glendalough with the finish at Glendalough hotel. Challenge: a runner's leg but route choice could win out!
If you have any feedback, please post it to the Forum
A permit has been obtained from the Wicklow Mountains National Park to hold this event.

Candid and the Camera
Jan 17, 2012 02:20:11 PM
For my Soyuz launch, I had worn a standard Shuttle diaper with two inserts for extra absorption. (I have found it advantageous to add a little extra in certain places—in weightlessness, urine will creep around under the guise of capillary action and find your long underwear.)
Still, we were in our spacesuits for over 12 hours, and that's a long time. Even with the extra inserts, my diaper became completely overwhelmed. It leaked real bad; I could feel it happen, and was powerless to control the flood. When the time came to de-suit, I was more than ready to get out of that thing, but dreaded the impending mess. Fortunately, I was able to cover up my stained underwear with a pair of woolen bib overalls.
On docking day, we put on our Sokol suits again and strapped in about six hours before arriving at Space Station. By the time we docked I was tired, dehydrated, hungry, had to use the bathroom, and was still wearing my yellow-stained long underwear. My sinuses were a bit congested, with the standard red puffy, chipmunk face. Our Soyuz cabin pressure was at 830 mm, but station is maintained at 740 mm. When we equalized the two, I got a splitting sinus headache.
When we opened the hatch we were immediately on camera, downlinked live to the world as we were greeted by the smiling faces of our space station crewmates. All I wanted to do was have a good "rest stop," get something to drink, and hide in my sleep station (in that order). We were pulled into the Service Module, where we were once again on camera with Russian Mission Control and my family, all anxious to chat. They wanted to know what it was like. I felt like a red-faced, dehydrated, puffy sack of -- (fill in the blank). That is what it was really like. I was able to force a smile.

Leading up to the Airbrush Getaway, I'm like a thoroughbred at the starting gate; nervous, high-strung, heart racing, even a little scared. The production of a Getaway is an enormous undertaking with some tough logistics that include the shipping of 8,000 to 10, 000 pounds of equipment and supplies, the coordinating of C02 tanks, instructor travel, hotel rooms, set-up, break-down, the demands and committment of keeping the students happy (our #1 priority!), and much more. Ultimately, it's about maintaining the balance and stability of a monster program. However, barring being with my two young daughters and Anh (the loves of my life), I'm rarely happier than when I'm in the midst of an Airbrush Getaway. It's actually a form of euphoria for me because I'm in my element with a staff and a group that I love, which is in large part why I adopted the slogan, "Come as students, leave as friends, return as family." There are 17 days until the Getaway. If you'd like to register, or require information on the World's largest and best hands-on airbrush immersion program, you may call me personally at 732-233-7007. I look forward to seeing you there!

By the way, you guys have been the best in following this site and being so supportive.
My Name is Cliff Stieglitz, and I Was an Airbrushaholic
Most of you probably don't know that I started as a T-shirt airbrusher in the early 1980s, well before I launched Airbrush Action magazine. Originally, I screenprinted shirts, and then graduated to iron-ons at flea markets and fairs. Next, I incorporated airbrushing, and the rest is cliche. I was extremely hard-working. I'd be ready to spray at 7:30a or 8a and work until I sold that last shirt which, at the New York street feasts, could be 2am! In retrospect, it was a grind, but I had the drive, stamina, and enthusiasm to work endless hours; whatever it took. I was a bull. The money was fabulous; all cash. Regarding my intense work ethic, I owe much to my father, and working as a busboy in kosher hotels during many teen summers. Barring some debilitating disease or coma, very little could prevent my father from getting out of bed every day. It was amazing, and it definitely helped shape me into the tenacious kid and adult I became. Another significant influence, albeit a negative memory for me, was the busboy gig. From ages 14 to 18 or 19 I worked summers at the Lido Beach Hotel, Lido Beach, Long Island. It was six days a week, serving three meals a day, with very little free time. It was grueling, and to a great degree unfair to force a young kid to do; yes, Dad forced me. I stuck it out, and later realized that practically any other job or schedule was easy after this stint. My Dad always promised he'd set me up with something different the following summer, but it never panned out, so ultimately, I took the bull by the horns, followed my entrepreneurial spirit, and started my T-shirt business. I used the knowledge I gained to start Airbrush Action magazine, and to this day, at the Airbrush Getaways, I'll always play with an airbrush to gauge my rustiness, and to enthusiastically work with beginning students. My polish and certain skills may be gone, but I can still perform any lick of the airbrush and have a student achieve a pretty good dagger stroke in five minutes or less.
Expert Advice from Airbrush Great Terry Hill
Terry Hill, one the most recognized names in the airbrush industry, has mentored many artists who have gone on to build airbrushing careers for themselves. Head instructor of the Airbrush Getaway's Ultimate Airbrush F/X class, Hill advises, "If you can, attend an Airbrush Getaway or any other airbrush workshop. These can be rich resources, but even if you get nothing more out of it than learning control of the airbrush, it's worth it. Without control, you'll never produce beautiful art. Specifically, practice the dagger stroke."
Hill added, "Always stay humble. Always help those on the way up. Someday they might be helping you. Remember that new trends often come from people who differ from the old guard. As a professional, you are the old guard, so listen to the young people coming up behind you."
Createx "Gets It."
Craig Kennedy and Dennis DeLorenzo are the dynamic duo of paint manufacturers. Owners of the Createx, Wicked and Auto Air Colors brands, these guys truly get that the readers of Airbrush Action are their core market, and they're aggressive in continually improving their products and customer satisfaction. Wicked has become the gold standard for T-shirt airbrushing, and many other applications, and Auto-Air Colors is the brilliant alternative in automotive custom painting. They sponsor the Airbrush Getaway program in large part to keep their pulse on the market and to best understand the needs of artists. Createx is truly a great company, and Craig and Dennis deserve many kudos for their dedication in making your airbrush experience as good as it can be.

The Top 3 Tips for Spraying in High Heat by Brian Lynch
Holy crap it's hot! I tried to think of cute ways to begin a note about dealing with the heat while painting and all I kept thinking was, 'Holy crap, it's hot!' That's it isn't it? It's just hot. You can put your favorite four letter word in front of it or behind it, or maybe you can't muster the strength, but…still… Holy crap, it's Hot!
Politics aside, a "warming trend" is as real as it gets. 100-year-old heat records are falling like that life alert lady, and we don't have an emergency button around our neck to save us! "Help, it's hot and I can't get up."
The fact is when painting in this excessive heat, paint behaves differently (and so do I really). Paint is designed to coat something with a layer of protection and color. To accomplish this various chemical and physical events take place as paint is applied and as it's drying.
Heat beyond normal can make the chemical drying part of paints react too quickly. When this happens the paint is often over-applied, or forced, in an effort to "flow" or wet up the surface. A forced coat will dry out of sequence with the top drying first. This often will trap solvents and prevent the rest of the layer from drying well, or even completely. Which is kind of weird because it would seem anything drying too quickly would, of course, dry well, right? But, no.
When selecting paint, and additives such as thinners and reducers, select the slower options in very hot climates. It might seem that a slow option would take more time to dry, and we all want fast, but it's simply not true. The fastest, smoothest application will always be when paint is sprayed with the appropriate speed chemicals for the job size and temperature. Sure, when it's cold the slow options might be slower than you would like, but, you have been reading, right? It's hot!
3 Keys to Remember::
1) Keep your air pressures under control: too much air pressure will quick-flash the surface leading to rough texture and poor adhesion.
2) Keep your gun/airbrush in close; paint dries in the air so the more distance the drier the spray will be.
3) Don't wet down the spray area floor; it may seem like a good idea but it will dramatically raise the humidity, another enemy of paint.
These are the top three tips for now. I hope it helps. If you take care of your paint it will take care of you.

Los secretos de Connaught Squareby Anne Perry
La noche anterior, un joven y prometedor diplomático fue asesinado en el jardín de una mansión londinense: la residencia de la misteriosa amante egipcia de un importante ministro del gabinete. Y pese a sus protestas de inocencia, acaba de ser detenida por homicidio. ¿Por qué un caso que solo debería interesar a la policía, y en principio ya resuelto, requiere una investigación extraoficial llevada con la máxima discreción?En busca de una verdad que podría comprometer a las más altas esferas, Pitt deberá viajar a Alejandría, una ciudad vibrante y turbulenta, donde la semilla de la rebelión contra los británicos está siempre latente.Con su inimitable estilo, y los brillantes personajes del superintendente Thomas Pitt y su esposa Charlotte, Anne Perry nos sumerge en una extraordinaria historia de intriga política, pasión y conflicto internacional en el corazón de la Inglaterra victoriana.
Seven Dialsby Anne Perry
In the first gray of a mid-September morning, Thomas Pitt, mainstay of Her Majesty's Special Branch, is summoned to Connaught Square mansion where the body of a junior diplomat lies huddled in a wheelbarrow. Nearby stands the tenant of the house, the beautiful and notorious Egyptian woman Ayesha Zakhari, who falls under the shadow of suspicion. Pitt's orders, emanating from Prime Minister Gladstone himself, are to protect-at all costs-the good name of the third person in the garden: senior cabinet mini...
The Sheen on the Silkby Anne Perry

Disguising herself as a eunuch named Anastasius, Anna moves freely about in society, maneuvering close to the key players involved in her brother's fate, including Zoe Chrysaphes, a devious noblewoman with her own hidden agenda, and Giuliano Dandolo, a ship's captain conflicted by his growing feelings for Anastasius. As leaders in Rome and Venice plot to invade Constantinople in another Crusade to capture the Holy Land, Anna's discoveries draw her inextricably closer to the dangers of the emperor's treacherous court--where it seems that no one is exactly who he or she appears to be.

Shoulder the Skyby Anne Perry
In the firmament of great historical novelists, Anne Perry is a star of the greatest magnitude. First there were her acclaimed Victorian mysteries, sparkling with passion and suspense. Now readers have embraced this bestselling new series of World War I novels-which juxtapose the tranquil life of the English countryside with the horrors of war. By April of 1915, as chaplain Joseph Reavley tends to the soldiers in his care, the nightmare of trench warfare is impartially cutting down England's youth. On one of his rescue forays into no-man's-land, Joseph finds the body of an arrogant war correspondent, Eldon Prentice. A nephew of the respected General Owen Cullingford, Prentice was despised for his prying attempts to elicit facts that would turn public opinion against the war. Most troublesome to Joseph, Prentice has been killed not by German fire but, apparently, by one of his own compatriots. What Englishman hated Prentice enough to kill him? Joseph is afraid he may know, and his sister, Judith, who is General Cullingford's driver and translator, harbors her own fearful suspicions. Meanwhile, Joseph and Judith's brother, Matthew, an intelligence officer in London, continues his quiet search for the sinister figure they call the Peacemaker, who, like Eldon Prentice, is trying to undermine the public support for the struggle-and, as the Reavley family has good reason to believe, is in fact at the heart of a fantastic plot to reshape the entire world. An intimate of kings, the Peacemaker kills with impunity, and his dark shadow stretches from the peaceful country lanes of Cambridgeshire to the twin hells of Ypres and Gallipoli. In this mesmerizing series, Anne Perry has found a subject worthy of her gifts. Illuminating the murderous conflict whose violence still resounds in our consciousness-as well as the souls of men and women who lived it-Shoulder the Skyis a taut, inspiring masterpiece. From the Hardcover edition.

A Sunless Seaby Anne Perry
Anne Perry's spellbinding Victorian mysteries, especially those featuring William Monk, have enthralled readers for a generation. The Plain Dealer calls Monk "a marvelously dark, brooding creation"--and, true to form, this new Perry masterpiece is as deceptively deep and twisty as the Thames. As commander of the River Police, Monk is accustomed to violent death, but the mutilated female body found on Limehouse Pier one chilly December morning moves him with horror and pity. The victim's name is Zenia Gadney. Her waterfront neighbors can tell him little--only that the same unknown gentleman had visited her once a month for many years. She must be a prostitute, but--described as quiet and kempt--she doesn't appear to be a fallen woman. What sinister secrets could have made poor Zenia worth killing? And why does the government keep interfering in Monk's investigation? While the public cries out for blood, Monk, his spirited wife, Hester, and their brilliant barrister friend, Oliver Rathbone, search for answers. From dank waterfront alleys to London's fabulously wealthy West End, the three trail an ice-blooded murderer toward the unbelievable, possibly unprovable truth--and ultimately engage their adversaries in an electric courtroom duel. But unless they can work a miracle, a monumental evil will go unpunished and an innocent person will hang. Anne Perry has never worn her literary colors with greater distinction than in A Sunless Sea, a heart-pounding novel of intrigue and suspense in which Monk is driven to make the hardest decision of his life.

We Shall Not Sleep: 1918 (World War One #5)by Anne Perry
Anne Perry's magnificent Victorian mysteries established her as one of the world's best known and loved historical novelists. Now, in her vividly imagined World War I novels, Perry's talents "have taken a quantum leap" (The Star-Ledger), and so has the number of her devoted readers. We Shall Not Sleep, the final book in this epic series featuring the dedicated Reavley family, is perhaps the most memorably enthralling of all Perry's novels. After four long years, peace is finally in sight. But chaplain Joseph Reavley and his sister Judith, an ambulance driver on the Western Front, are more hard pressed than ever. Behind the lines, violence is increasing: soldiers are abusing German prisoners, a nurse has been raped and murdered, and the sinister ideologue called the Peacemaker now threatens to undermine the peace just as he did the war. Then Matthew, the third Reavley sibling and an intelligence expert, suddenly arrives at the front with startling news. The Peacemaker's German counterpart has offered to go to England and expose his co-conspirator as a traitor. But with war still raging and prejudices inflamed, such a journey would be fraught with hazards, especially since the Peacemaker has secret informers everywhere, even on the battlefield. For richness of plot, character, and feeling, We Shall Not Sleep is unmatched. Anne Perry's brilliantly orchestrated finale is a heart-stopping tour de force, mesmerizing and totally satisfying.

Instead of being praised for his key testimony, Pitt is removed from his station command and transferred to Whitechapel, one of the East End's most dangerous slums. There he must work undercover investigating alleged anarchist plots. Among his few allies are his clever wife, Charlotte, and intrepid Gracie, the maid who can travel unremarked in Whitechapel.

Billings Learned Hand (January 27, 1872 August 181, 1961) usually called just Learned Hand was a famed American judge and an avid supporter of free speech, though he is most remembered for applying economic reasoning to American tort law. Hand is generally considered to be one of the most influential American judges who never served on the U.S. Supreme Court.

CARD Act Summary
On February 22, the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act (CARD Act) will take effect. Below is a summary of the changes being put into place. This easy to follow guide explains the situation today (before the CARD Act), the changes going into effect on February 22, and the impact (if any) to our Credit Union cardholders.
1. Same Payment Due Date each month
Today: The payment due date can change each month. Your payment can be due on the 1st one month and on the 5th the next month.
After February 22nd: The payment due date on each statement will have to be the same day each month.
BCU Cardholders: BCU due dates fall on the 3rd, 12th, and 19th business day of the month. Starting February the new payment due dates will be the 1st, 13th and 22nd day of every month.
2. Limit on Fees Related to Payment Method
Today: Some credit card issuers charge a separate fee when a consumer makes a payment on an account through a non-automated method. This may include telephone, mail and/or the internet.
After February 22nd: Fees may only be assessed to consumers for an expedited payment service provided by an actual representative of the card issuer.
BCU Cardholders: Currently BCU charges a $20 fee for credit card payments made over the phone with the assistance of a Member Relations Representative. BCU does not charge a fee for mailing a payment or making a payment at a Service center. The new requirement does not impact BCU.
3. More Restrictions for Exceeding Credit Limits/Over Limit Fee
Today: Some credit card issuers charge an over-the-limit fee each time you exceed your credit limit.
After February 22nd: Before you can be charged an over limit fee, you'll need to "opt-in" or give your card issuer permission to complete transactions that will exceed your credit limit. If you opt in, you will be charged an over limit fee for exceeding your limit. If you do not opt in, you will not receive a fee for exceeding your limit, but the card issuer may decline any transaction that puts you over your credit limit.
BCU Cardholders: Members will need to opt in to authorize the credit union to approve transactions that exceed their credit limit, and agree to be assessed an over limit fee. The over limit fee will be charged only once per statement cycle.
4. Restriction on Increasing Interest Rates on Outstanding Balances
Today: Even when you've made all monthly payments on your account on time, some credit card issuers may increase interest rates on existing balances due to a change in your credit score, income or other factors.
After February 22nd: Card issuers generally won't be allowed to increase rates on existing balances except for variable rate cards or penalty rates when properly disclosed in advance.
BCU Cardholders: BCU does not change rates on existing balances or employ penalty rates.
5. Restriction on Increasing Interest Rates on Future Transactions
Today: Some credit cards offer low, introductory rates that can become dramatically higher over time. In addition, some card issuers have increased their rates for certain consumers without much warning.
After February 22nd: Rates can't be increased during the first year after your account is opened. After the first year, you'll have to be given at least 45 days' advance notice before your rate can be increased. If you do not agree to the rate increase, you may opt out of the change, close your account and pay down any remaining balance at your current rate.
BCU Cardholders: BCU will review credit card accounts each year. If a rate adjustment is required (due to a change in credit score, income, or other factors), BCU will provide a 45 day advance of the change prior to changing interest rates on credit cards. The notice will provide you with the required options.
6. Application of Payments
Today: For accounts with different interest rates, such as cash advances, purchases or balance transfers; your excess payments typically go toward paying off balances with the lowest interest rates first.
After February 22nd: Any payment made in excess of the minimum payment due must be applied to the balance with the highest interest rate.
BCU Cardholders: BCU currently applies excess payment amounts to promotional rates first, then oldest to newest balances. Beginning February 22, 2010, payments made in excess of the minimum payment will be applied to the highest interest rate.
7. More Information about Minimum Payments on Credit Card Statements
Today: Credit card statements only display the minimum required payment.
After February 22nd: Credit card statements will show how long it will take to pay off the balance making only minimum monthly payments, and will also show options for paying off balances in 36 months.
BCU Cardholders: BCU has redesigned our monthly credit card statements to comply with the new law. Cardholders will see these changes in February, 2010.

Did we get just an A or an A+? Or what?
It's insider, but if you got it, it's a pretty good read.
Only gave 4 teams A's: Us and Lakers (A+), Celtics (A), and Nuggets (A-)
Also, found this to be a pretty bold and exciting closing statement:
Link: http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/story...des-every-teamPair this group with Monty Williams, one of the more underrated coaches in the league, and the future in New Orleans has never been brighter. The Hornets may not be a playoff team this season, but they are firmly on the same trajectory the Thunder were a couple of years ago.
Did we get just an A or an A+? Or what?
Tune in on Fridays at 12 noon for Sport-a-Facts with Ro Brown and Wednesdays at 1pm for Sports Revolution to hear me speak my mind on all things Saints and Pelicans related and more.
Only on WBOK 1230 AM.
Feel free to PM me for more details.
Us and Lakers got A+'s... thought that was clear. Whoops.
I bet the Magic got a F haha
Teams:New Orleans Hornets(Pelicans) & Houston Texans
What I'm so excited about is that the 2 guys we drafted were supposed to be 2 of the hardest workers in the draft. Rivers and Davis are both know for their tremendous work ethic, and both have the drive to be great. Combine that with Monty's affinity towards developing young players, and we have a recipe for success.
Davis with Monty couldn't be any more of a perfect pairing - defense meets defense. And Rivers respects Monty more than just about anyone in the league and basically grew up with Monty at his house, so there is a unique bond there that I think will really allow Rivers to grow into the player we all hope he can be.
Pre season couldn't get here fast enough.
Check me OUT ON YT and SUBSCRIBE for Support
And of course we were gonna get an A+. With the draftees, resigning EG, acquiring Ryan Anderson, and dumping a HUGE chunk of salary by trading Emek and Ariza, we accomplished everything we set out to do this offseason.
The trade of Meka and Ariza for nothing is worth a A+ neverminding how we swung Anderson, lucked into AD, took Rivers, AND retained EG at a lesser amount than he really wanted.
Oh yeah. That's an A+ offseason.
Now for an A+ regular season! Onward!
Extend Monty's contract and Chuck Norris himself would give us an A+++
"Its important to us to bring in good people, people who can fit in the locker room and people you want to root and cheer for. People that want to win. Were trying to build for the long haul. -Dell Demps

Representative List of Recent Publications / Exhibitions:
One of the frameworks I concentrate on most in teaching is experiential education. I was grounded in experiential education through 38 semesters of in-the-field teaching with the National Audubon Society Expedition Institute, as we traveled, camped, and backpacked throughout the US. I learned that first-hand experiences (with unfamiliar ideas, people, cultures, and ecosystems) can provide powerful academic skills, as well as personal and spiritual growth, by working on the individual's whole being. The disorienting dilemma initiated by direct contact and interaction with extraordinary (to learners) environments, theories, and ideas often pushes them into uncharted intellectual territory where deep learning takes place. These experiences can be facilitated in classroom teaching and, importantly, in virtual environments. They include learners engaging with texts, writing projects, research explorations, group discussions, and one-on-one interactions. I have found that as invaluable as direct experience is to scholastic growth, learners also benefit by understanding the theoretical concepts from their disciplines which place their remarkable and varied experiences in larger historical, social, political, or scientific contexts.

If you don't see any evidence here that shows sexual orientation and basic preferences are different, you may want to open a few history books. Where homosexuality was in vogue, fashionable, and popular, it ran rampant, as in Greece. Then, there was a renaissance sort of time, and women were seen as creatures of beauty instead. Homosexuality was no longer as abundant. Did that society just happen to have quite a bit of people who just happened, coincidentally, to be born gay? And then a few decades later, the opposite coincidentally happened? In the 80s when big hair was in style and everyone had it, did those people prefer it beause they were born to do it, or because it was the fashion? And if they were born to prefer it why do most of them now thing the whole big hair fad was ridiculous? That would mean their preference changed. And I don't mean their preference to wear it, but for those who did. Nearly all the rock stars had big hair, and face it, women thought they were hot with their big hair. Sexuality and our preferences are partly genetic, but there are other factors involved. And they are definitely two completely different things as they are two different areas of life.

Modesto >General Merchandise Stores > Central Stamp & Coin Co.
939 10th St, Modesto, CA | Directions 95354-230537.640037 -120.999976
A Jewel of Northern California – Looking for a good coin shop in the Bay Area, I found this store via its Ebay online store.
John and Joyce are really friendly and very willing to help you locate what you're looking for.
Been Looking for You – John, I have been searching for you to do some more business with you. It has been a long time . I lost your Email and Store address. Would you please,contact me. Sorry, about this,but It seem to be the only way I could reach you. You were great to do business with and had great quality coins. I hope to hear from you. Jeanne
A true gem! – I have just recently returned to coin collecting and I wandered in to Modesto Stamp and Coin. When I entered the store, I was completely mesmerized by the shear number of things offered for sale. The owner was busy helping another person, whom I soon learned was a long time customer, I thought what a great chance to see how this man is treated by the owner. I listened for a while and I must say I was impressed. The owner expressed his appreciation for the customers loyalty and he paid him a premium for an item the customer had for sale. The two finished their business and it was my turn. I asked to see several items some of which were not easy for the owner to get to. He patiently retrieved every single one and as he did, he gave me the price of each one. I was very impressed when the owner offered additional suggestions for items I was looking for that were actually much better and sometimes less money than what I was after. I stayed in the store visiting, browsing and gathering items for purchase for quite some time. In fact when I left it was well after the 5 PM closing time. Not once was I rushed or reminded that the store closed at 5. I not only enjoyed my visit, but I also feel that I truly got my moneys worth with the things I purchased. If you are looking for variety when it comes to coins and collectibles and if you want to know that your business is appreciated, I encourage you to visit this store. You will not be disappointed. As for me, I am excited about my new find and I cannot wait to go back for more coins and another visit with my new friend!

Goalie fight! Flyers' Ray Emery squares off against Capitals' Braden Holtby
By Eli Bernstein
It's been a tough season so far for the Flyers. An 0-3 start led to the (probably overdue) firing of coach Peter Laviolette in October, but the shakeup on the bench hasn't resulted in a turnaround. Thanks mostly to an anemic offense and hit-or-miss defense, Philadelphia is currently sitting on six points, good for last place in the entire NHL.
The Flyers' offense wasn't exactly its usual moribund self, and actually got off 30 shots against Caps netminder Braden Holtby. Not one found the back of the net though, and so after Ward scored 5:23 into the third period to make the score 7-0, the hosts decided to make some fireworks with their fists instead.
The brouhaha began after Philadelphia's Wayne Simmonds leveled Caps defenseman Steve Olesky with a check near the Washington blue line. Tom Wilson immediately came to his teammate's defense, and as the refs watched the two tangle, Flyers goalie Ray Emery rushed down the ice, intent on going mano-a-mano with his counterpart Holbty.
Now, even though he's a goalie, Emery is known for his pugilism skills. He's even squared off against a non-goalie not once but twice, in both the NHL and AHL. Holtby was thus understandably somewhat hesitant to engage in fisticuffs, but Emery wouldn't take no for an answer. What followed was an unmitigated pounding, as Emery continued to throw haymakers even as Holtby fell to his knees.
Two undercards (Steve Olesky vs. Vincent Lecavalier and Brayden Schenn vs. Alexander Urbom) followed the main event, as the crowd continued to egg on their hometown
boxing club hockey team. Holtby looked dazed and visibly bruised after his encounter with Emery, but would go on to preserve the shutout. The Flyers would finish with 99 more penalty minutes than goals, but perhaps also with a new sense of camaraderie born out of not losing without a fight.
After the game, Emery defended his decision to go after Holtby, saying the opposing netminder had every chance to change the outcome.
Ray Emery: "I basically told him to protect himself. I gave him a chance to protect himself."
